My ftpdns solution still looking "weird"? :-) It can be up and running in a few minutes, free if you already have a website, and no load issues, or worries about who will maintain it when it goes wrong etc etc I agree it is no good if you want to use it from an internet cafe (or other random machine...

An alternative to easyfind is ftpdns, something I hacked to perform this function for my Odroids which don't have an equivalent to easyfind. It requires a basic web hosting service with ftp (about $65/year, but this could be shared, or it could be hosted on a B3 that has a fixed IP) because it uses ...

@MouettE Thanks for explaining which is very helpful. I guess if I just want to compile and run a MaidSafe vault, so long as I can SSH into B3 I won't need all the excito packages? I tried building earlier with gc++ but was hitting problems that were probably due to b3 lacking support for advanced C...

Would one of you be willing to provide a summary of **all** the steps needed for this in a single post (or a Wiki How To?), as well as saying why you'd want to do this and what it achieves for those of us watching with more excitement than understanding? :-) I'm hoping this might solve some issues w...

UPDATE: I've managed to build quite a lot but am now hitting a compile error that seems to be related to B3's ARMv5 architecture as it works on other ARM devices (tested by the MaidSafe guys). HELP: It would be great if someone else with a B3 could try replicating this problem to make sure it is B3 ...

Hi All, I am trying to build MaidSafe (a secure, decentralised, storage network which will be launched soon) and am not sure how to get hold of some packages. For info: MaidSafe is an exciting project and a great thing to participate in using Excito servers - get in touch or check out http://maidsaf...

I am trying to get my B3 to act as a server which connects to the internet via the WiFi hotspot on my smartphone (Samsung/Android). I followed the Excito Wiki: Connect your B3 as a wireless device to an access point Having done this I can see that my b3 connects successfully (I can see it on the sma...

[quote="mike_nl"... But what i mean in the beginning was that i can wakeup the bubba 2 from out every PC where i have installed the wakeup routine.[/quote] So we have the ability for bubba to wake up other machines and vice versa? Would be great to know details for reference (here and/or in the Wiki...

Well I confess I was aiming at the inferiority complex, but to succeed I'd have to claim a -ve age so I give in. You were ahead of me starting at 6, and I was indeed older so you probably have more time to play and watch what happens before we're all absorbed into an NSA simulation (which I think yo...

Maybe I just started younger than you @cheeseboy ;-) Yes I remember the Tandy TRS80 and used to go and look at one in the local shop. I built the Nascom in 1977, and immediately set about designing a DMA controller and Floppy Disk interface (because we only had tape storage then too). I laid out and...
